Ana Dyreson leads Michigan Tech's Great Lakes Energy Group and collaborates on several
climate- and energy-focused projects underway at Tech. Ten miles north of Michigan
Tech's main campus, Dyreson regularly walks the wide gravel rows of a farm of a different
sort, one flanked by hundreds of solar panels at the US Department of Energy's (DOE's)
northernmost Regional Test Center (RTC) for Emerging Solar Technologies.
Located at Tech's Advanced Power Systems Research Center near Houghton County Memorial
Airport, the arrays at the RTC are mounted in a variety of configurations based on
research projects being conducted by center partners
